Organization of Alleged Democrats Seek to I Oust Cohen As Comptroller of Port of New Orleans NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 27 The Pelican Republican Klub of this city continued its war on Walter Cohen, one of the most prominent Republicans of the state, at the last meeting of the club, when the organization is purported to have framed declarations demanding the resignation of Cohen as comptroller of the port of New Orleans. This club is alleged to be composed of Democrats who are also members of the Ku Klux Klan, and who have delegated themselves to defend "White Supremacy." Cohen at whom the attack is directed is a large tax payer and for years has vrcrcit iive in political circles in this section, i Once every so often comes the rumor that Walter L. Cohen will be deposed as secretary of the Republican State Central Committee in New Orleans. Interviewed by a representative of the Associated Negro Press, all white employees in the government service with the exception of known klsnsmen.

agreed that no fault could be found with the management of the office under the direction of Mr. Cohen. Impairment Liens On Standard Life Policies WASHINGTON. D. Oct.

27 Ihe Arkansas Survey, published at Little Rock, in an editorial statement regarding the recent discussion of he affairs of the old Standard Life Insurance, which was reclaimed for he race by the National Benefit at Washington, offers advice quite simi ar to that contained In the statement of the insursnce commissions i the states of Alabama. Arkansas, Conen is ain reected I to" '53 Ditri? position. It ts aaiH th i "mbia. published as an advertise number of votes have been assured to oust Cohen in January and that meetings are being held nightly in the club rooms of the regular or franization looking towards this end. When Secretary of Commerce Hoover visited this city he was entertained by members of this organization, and was told that Cohen must go or the Republican party in Louisiana would be wrecked that they did not wish to read him out of the Republican party, but that he was to be deposed as secretary of the state central committee.

It is said that Victor Loisel, United States marshal, and O. D. Jackson, prohibition administrator, are definitely committed to the move to oust Cohen from office on the state committee. It natural for the prohibition enforcement officer to wish to remove Cohen, as at one time Mr. Jackson was exalted cyclops of the local Ku Klux Klan in this city.

Reports having been circulated in the city and taken up by the daily press as to the conditions in the comptroller's office, 12 employees thereof, all white, drew up a set of resolutions I stating that Walter Cohen gave to all employees a square deal, and that conditions in the office were better than practi cUy auiy depaxtarent cl the service tient in another column. Th editorial states in part: This mar seem at first alaac verr vn usual to aire attention to a private corporation affair but There Is a dancer that much harm may come to hundreds of oar po Pie who are vitally Interested In Standard Life affairs and future. There are thousands of poller holders who hare policies with this company. We were Instrumen tal in retting many of these pr). Icyhldera.

We have been de lud with Inquiries from our friends as Just what to do and as to the tneenina of their latest, move. The survey means to be thw service oraan of our people. We have made cartful Inquiry about this proposition and we are atvlor our beat opinion and we believe that the future win show that we are correct. First, we find that the impairment liens are arestly miaunderssood by many of the policyholders because of Incorrect Interpretation. From a close study the situation seems simply this: The reserve of the Standard Life Insurance Company has become impaired.

This was tbe result of the business changing bands several times and a heroic sirufsle of colored men to keep this company in the race and from dissolution. This has been accomplished through the National Benefit Life taking over tbe eons pany.

Special emphasis was placed upon this career, remarkable for the high ideals, lofty principles, res simplicity, undaunted courage and faithful devotion to the cause of human welfare which characterised It.
